arizonajirt Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 So I've finally gotten a chance to start on my vow. So far I've killed a pot of unfortunate flesh and 3 pots of snot green in this and I'm not even into more than 16 troops. Here are the before pics and some WIP ones. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/arizonajirt/CE9550A4-96EB-41F9-8415-7E6942F711AC-2648-000001E3862EFA31_zps90799764.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/arizonajirt/55BA3348-7B6F-44AD-8F80-3E1A8A383E80-2648-000001E38E3FA0E6_zps0523b34e.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/arizonajirt/E5294F89-1C9E-47D2-A4DE-6C652EA5EBC1-2648-000001E3971296BD_zps8aeaad97.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/arizonajirt/672CFE8E-99D8-4375-A16B-B4C53D1B3C17-2648-000001E39FF4CCDC_zpsab9a1299.jpg Now the WIP http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/arizonajirt/53A12A54-BCC4-482A-A15C-92C464711959-2648-000001E3AC53B364_zps92628142.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/arizonajirt/B6F8B5DE-D019-45BF-9EE4-3FF58C26A44D-2648-000001E3B4DF24F0_zps63dcf4e8.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/arizonajirt/0643CD99-371F-4295-8E05-DC5C058E40C2-2648-000001E3C0DCA4C4_zpse6305a6e.jpg I've had to order more snot green/warp stone glow because my shop ran out.

arizonajirt Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 You all can thank yak for this. I was going to dedicate myself to the blood god and put up my 6,000 points of chaos. But he let me see the error of my ways and led me back to the emperors light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arizonajirt Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 It was all done with a brush. I attempted a method I found online but it turned out like crap so I ended up applying everything with a brush. So a base coat of this sandy yellow color, can't remember the name off the top of my head, followed by 2 coats of snot green/warp stone glow and then a heavy wash of bial tan green. I'm currently working on all of the vehicles, the heavy weapons marines and the dread. The heavy weapons guys are almost done. Just need to do the final details and a final wash and they are done. I finished the dread yesterday. And as for the bases, since I know this will eventually be asked. I'm going to design and cast up all of the bases for them. Since it will be part of my upcoming business, it helps to design the bases now. I have work the next 4 nights so the next day ill get to work on my models will be Monday afternoon. So it will be on again then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arizonajirt Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 i just use an old large (about 1/2-3/4 inch wide) shoft bristle brush. if the bristles are bent, dont care. its my base coat brush. when i do the top coat, i use a much smaller brush (1/8-1/4 inch wide). it works good for me. but I do most of my painting with a 10/0 or a 20/0 brush.
